Cultural references[]

  • This episode title is a pun on the comic strip Little Orphan Annie and Milhouse's name.
  • Uncle Norbert is a parody of Indiana Jones.
  • Adagio for Strings is played during the "dark and gloomy" scene showing the coastguards driving toward the Simpson's house. Adagio for Strings was also used for the main theme in Oliver Stone's anti-war movie Platoon. The scene itself is a parody of a scene from Saving Private Ryan, where Mrs. Ryan is informed of the death of her sons.
  • Homer's song "You're the Wilma to my Fred" is a reference to another animated sitcom, The Flintstones.
  • Part of "The Raiders March" from the Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark is played when Uncle Norbert flies Milhouse home in his biplane.

Trivia[]

  • This and "Simpson Tide" are the only two episodes where Ralph says something clever, or at least, less dumb.
  • The carpet in the TV room stretched into the kitchen when Marge did Bart's dance.
  • This is not the first time Bart allegedly expressed his feelings for Milhouse. His attempts to break up Milhouse from Samantha Stankey in "Bart's Friend Falls in Love" and Greta Wolfcastle in "The Bart Wants What it Wants" in some circles represent jealousy and a potential homosexual tendency towards Milhouse.
  • Marge's eye color are revealed to be hazel.
  • This episode aired on the same day with The Grim Adventures of the KND (on Cartoon Network) a crossover between The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Codename: Kids Next Door.

Goofs[]

  • As Bart and Milhouse roast marshmallows at the fireplace, the marshmallows change color as the camera shifts.
  • When Bart arrives home after school, he gets in through the front door dancing, wearing his backpack in his front, but after the camera shifts he is no longer wearing a backpack.
  • Milhouse's parents are declared lost at sea without so much as a search party being sent out. Because the ship was so far from mainland it's likely a search would've been considered impractical.
